Laboratory Gloves

The primary purpose of Laboratory gloves are to provide protection to workers hands and forearms from the substances they are handling. They can also prevent cross contamination between different materials the worker is handling. The appropriate glove for the type of work and substance needs to be worn to ensure adequate protection. The majority of gloves are lined with powder to absorb sweat and increase the comfort of the glove. The main categories of gloves are latex, heat resistant, powder free, latex free and chemical resistant. Latex gloves are a good multi-purpose glove which provides a basic level of safety. Heat resistant gloves should be chosen when working with high temperatures, powder free gloves are ideal where materials sensitive to contamination are being used. Latex-free gloves are used to replace the general latex glove when users are allergic and chemical resistant gloves are ideal when strong chemicals are being used such as petrol. Any industry which has a laboratory or workers handling hazardous substances will require Laboratory Gloves this includes the construction, beauty and medical industry as well as factories, garages and laboratories.
